The team is being headed by MGS creator Hideo Kojima. Frist, Konami X Prods. will develop the Metal Gear Solid trilogy for the Xbox 360 and MGS: Fluid Ac!d for the Zune.
The Smash: Kojima might be from Kansai, but Konami, a Tokyo-based company, does not give press conferences in Osaka. Also, news of such press conference never appeared on Konami's or Kojima Productions' sites or on any major Japanese gaming news website like Famitsu, Game Watch Impress or Dengeki Online. A well-placed source confirmed with us that this rumor is total baloney.
It's safe to assume that Konami wouldn't have messed up on the spelling of one of their upcoming games if it was genuine (check the "press release" on the link). I don't think they want to advertise MGS as a trilogy (or a "triology") when they're currently promoting the fourth one, either. And there's also the little matter of Kojima constantly telling the press that MGS4 is making him so busy that he can't work on anything else, until it's finished.
